Congregational Care Ministry

Elder Shepherding and Prayer | The Elders and Lay Shepherds meet each month primarily to pray for you. We consider this a great privilege and calling. Please let us know of specific requests by contacting your elder, lay shepherd or Chris Voorhees. We are here to help.

Elder Shepherding

Covenant Church of Naples Elders are elected by the congregation to provide spiritual leadership, guidance, governance, and encouragement. Some Elders serve in the areas of governance and oversight while others serve as congregational shepherds who personally minister to 8-10 Covenant families. These Shepherding Elders develop personal relationships with each family member to provide guidance for spiritual growth, support, resourcing, and prayer. Elder Shepherds minister to Covenant families through:

Personal contact

Regular prayer

Resourcing families as necessary within the body and with other Covenant ministries

Hospital visitation and emergency aid

And, if necessary, restoration to the body

Mercy Ministry (Deacon's Ministry)

Covenant Deacons, serve the needs of the body. If you’re in need of assistance, call the church office, 239-597-3464, or click here for more information.

Covenant Counseling Center

Covenant Counseling Center works in tandem with the vision and mission of Covenant Church to provide biblically-based, confidential, professional counseling and preventive services.

While never wavering from a foundation of biblical truth, our licensed professional counselors integrate specialized training in mental, emotional, and relational dynamics to graciously lead individuals towards healing and restoration.
